The three water injection pumps each had a capacity of 221 m 3 /hr with a differential head of 2068.5 metres (209 bar). The pumps discharged to the 3,000 psi manifold and wellheads. The single water injection booster pump (221 m 3 /hr, 1,379 m (139 bar) differential head) took its suction from the discharge of the water injection pumps and ...

When the water cut becomes high, or when a workover is considered, the economics will be evaluated [1] and may favor the installation of DOWS technology so that the waste water does not need to be treated at the surface. In those cases, the economics may favor injection of the produced water into a different permeable zone accessible to the ...
Water injection into the producing zone frequently has a beneficial element of reservoir management; however, often produced water disposal is into shallower zones safely beneath any fresh water zones. aquifer producers intentionally producing water for re-injection to manage pressure. If possible this water will come from the reservoir itself.
This water contains brine and may also contain toxic heavy metals and radioactive substances. [43] This can be very damaging to drinking water sources and the environment generally if not properly controlled. Disposal wells are used to prevent surface contamination of soil and water by injecting the produced water deep underground. [44] [45]
